care should be taken not to pull the tape sealant away from the panel. Install the adjoining panel positioning<br />
the overlapping rib with care. Drill, at the center of the clearance holes in the overlapping panel, 1/8“<br />
pilot holes for the lap fasteners. Stitch the lap with the No. 14 self-tapping fasteners supplied with the job.<br />
